Brilliant there is my god father Glyn Pardoe.

Nice one, he obviously features in the book and at the end all the players have done a nice little personal tribute to Tony Book, Glyn and Ken Barnes.

He's a great bloke. My dad still visits him and vice versa every Christmas as they live close by, and both he and his wife send a card and buy my girls a present. I used to go with my dad when Glyn lived in Davenham, and I sat there starstruck while they talked City, then he would get his under 21 caps out for me to look at. Every Christmas when I was young he would bring me a poster (signed by the 1st team and management) and on one occasion he gave me a book (signed by all the first team), it really was the stuff off dreams (I've got one poster and the book left). He would have played for England if injury hadn't of wrecked his career. It was an emotional day last season watching him on the pitch, with all the other greats.

I live in Davenham but never see Glyn - where's he living now? (G Best did for Glyn's career, and very nearly his leg/life)

Yeh he did just that. He lives in Middlewich, and has done so for the last few years (along with one of his daughters). It was quite funny really, because from where Glyn lived in Davenham, 100yds or so down the road lived his cousin Alan Oakes.

Thanks for info re Glyn Pardoe. I have seen Alan O in Davenham though.
